In the photovoltaic industry, the term "Solar Support" encompasses far more than just the physical racking that holds panels in place. It represents the entire ecosystem of products, engineering expertise, and customer service that ensures a solar array performs safely, efficiently, and profitably for its entire lifespan. At Sunforson, we have built our reputation on providing this complete definition of Solar Support. With over 15 years of dedicated experience and a global footprint spanning Asia and Africa, we understand that true Solar Support begins at the project's conception and continues long after the final panel is installed.
The tangible manifestation of our Solar Support is our comprehensive SunRack product line. For rooftop applications, our Solar Support includes versatile systems like the SunRack Pitched Roof Mount, designed to work seamlessly with tile, metal, and asphalt roofs using specialized hooks and flashing for a watertight seal. For flat roofs, our SunRack Flat Roof Mount provides innovative, ballasted Solar Support that requires no penetrations, protecting the roofing membrane while providing optimal panel tilt. When the project moves to the ground, our SunRack Ground Mount series offers adaptable Solar Support through four different foundation types—concrete bases, ground screws, driven piles, and single poles—ensuring stability on almost any soil type. We recently provided the Solar Support for a 1MW ground-mounted project in Bulgaria, where our engineering team designed a custom pile-driven foundation to accommodate the specific geotechnical conditions, demonstrating how our Solar Support adapts to the site, not the other way around.
Beyond these core systems, our definition of Solar Support expands to include specialized applications like the SunRack Carport, which transforms parking areas into power-generating assets, and the SunRack Wall Mount, an economical and aesthetically pleasing solution for building facades. Each of these systems is part of a cohesive Solar Support ecosystem, utilizing standardized components like our high-strength aluminum rails, durable clamps, and stainless steel hardware. This modular approach to Solar Support simplifies inventory management for distributors and ensures installers can quickly become proficient with our entire product range. For a large commercial developer in Southeast Asia, this consistency in Solar Support across multiple projects—rooftops, carports, and ground mounts—has streamlined their supply chain and reduced installation training time significantly.
However, our Solar Support extends well beyond product manufacturing. It encompasses the engineering partnership we offer every client. Our process, detailed in "How we make our client’s project successful," is a structured Solar Support framework: we begin with thorough requirements communication, understanding the application type, technical data, and required standards. Our Solar Support then moves to product and solution design, where our engineers create 3D models and provide detailed drawings and BOMs for customer confirmation, including sample making when needed. This is followed by a rigorous production process with strict quality control, and finally, comprehensive delivery and after-sales Solar Support, including packaging solutions, installation guide support, and warranty service. This end-to-end Solar Support ensures that no matter where the project is located—from Nigeria to Vietnam—our clients have a dedicated partner ensuring their success.
